Opportunities
Volunteer with UsThe Christian life is like breathing: what you take in also needs to be let out. Giving of our time and talents is a key factor in one’s spiritual health. Whether it is every week, once a month, or just a few times a year, the gift of yourself is life-giving. (Sometimes even to others!)
We offer many ways to help you connect with others and with God. Volunteer opportunities within the church include being an usher, greeter, musician, teacher, receptionist, youth advisor, or arts advocate. To find out more about each of these opportunities or to sign up to volunteer, fill out the form on this page, call (941) 955‑8119, ext. 102, or email serve@fpcsrq.org.
